  • #Nature's Grasp
    • ##Scaling:
      • from "150 / 225 / 300 (+ 75% AP)" magic damage
      • to "150 / 225 / 300 (+ 50% AP) + 10% Bonus Health" magic damage
    • ##Projectile speed:
      • Speed increased based on his Bonus Health.
    • ##Root enemy champion interaction with Bramble Smash (Q) Enemies that are hit by Bramble Smash (Q) while rooted by his ultimate (R) will break the root and deal 200 bonus magic damage.
    • ##Root enemy champion interaction with Twisted Advance (W) Enemies that are rooted by his ultimate (R) will highlight allowing Maokai to Twisted Advance (W) towards them within 2100 range. Enemies will highlight red that are out of his range & appear green when within. Context: This give Maokai a much needed engage allowing him to engage without Righteous Glory.
    • ##Root enemy champion interaction with Sapling Toss (E) Enemies that are rooted by his ultimate will arm nearby Saplings instantly and cause them to agro the nearest enemy that is rooted by Nature's Grasp (R). When hit saplings will act similar when they would been placed inside a brush and deal the bonus health damage.

Other numbers might need to be tweaked to compensate

Maokai is plenty strong. Tanks are just unpopular for ages now. What they need are some high profile updates to create some hype, like a fancy new keystone in resolve or some brand new tank items with exciting and impactful active effects.

as a maokai OTP i do feel his ult needs a buff. but not in terms of damage. his ult isnt meant for damage its meant for cc. to engage/disengage or zone/cut off

i would like to see it have faster movement speed.

only other change i would like if maokai's E still did impact damage. is E is a hit n miss ability cuz you cant target an enemy with them like most abilities in game, and they suck if you are trying to get cs when zoned off from a wave. give it impact/splash damage back so he can be more effective trying to cs with this ability.
